Hi Experts

Could you point a good material to have a start point on using Salesforce, mainly on Business parts?

Thanks in advance.

Our team is trying Salesforce and we have a sandbox and a production Salesforce.
To use SSO (Okta) are we able to use same SSO login to both environments? Or can we only use say our email attribute in one or the other (Sandbox or Production)? My understanding is Sandbox only allows you a login that is unique across both environments. And if that’s the case, what’s the usual workaround ? Don’t want to reinvent the wheel.

I have a client asking about their VFP app with a SQL backend database being able to import/export data from SalesForce (www.salesforce.com).  I am wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to best go about making these tasks work, using 3rd party tools or otherwise?

I am coding on the Salesforce platform using apex and I'm trying to create a class that will sort a list by two fields using the Comparable interface.

I'm trying to determine how I can sort by two fields so that each product grouping can be sorted by size. The products are clothing items. Each product has a series of sizes. For simplicity, the sizes are S, M, L, XL. What I am trying to achieve is sorting by the size field as well as the product name.

For example, if I have the following products:



I would want them sorted by smallest to largest:

There is a size__c field for each product that holds the size value.

I started by creating a generic sorting utility using the comparable interface to test sorting by product name:

public class GenericSortingUtil {

    public class ObjWrapper implements Comparable {
        
        public sObject obj;
        
        public ObjWrapper() {}

        public ObjWrapper(Sobject obj) {
            this.obj = obj;

        }

        public Integer compareTo(Object compareTo) {
            
            ObjWrapper compareToObj = (ObjWrapper)compareTo;

            if((String)obj.get('Name') > (String)compareToObj.obj.get('Name')) {
                return 1;
            }

I have several Crystal Reports that run off of a Salesforce connection. These have been in place for over a year and have just stopped working. I'm linked via www.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/17.0 and I've just started getting the error Logon failed.

We're looking to integrate third-party CRMs with our desktop .NET in-house practice management software.  The CRMs are:

• Salesforce

• Microsoft Dynamics

The data to be integrated includes:

• Contact information (name, address, phone number)
• Billing information

At the moment, the data needs to be manually entered in both systems which is time consuming and error prone.  We're looking at two options at the moment:

1. Develop our own system using the APIs to integrate the data
2. Purchase an integrator to assist us in what can often be a messy job

We haven't made a decision around syncing, push, pull, source of truth etc so we're not limited in options at this stage.

So the question is:
Which option would you choose for a manual one way sync, which option for a robust two-way sync and why?

What integration software would you recommend and why?

I have looked all over and wondered if there was a page either on the Salesforce community or other that had the following questions answered above. I have the following problem. I have a TASK table created from another program where the data was exported cleanly to Excel and saved as CSV. I am trying desperately to import it into salesforce from the CSV attached. I am aware I can use the ACTIVITY table and I can use it I assume if this is not possible. I would think that the TASK table which is so close to what I need would accomodate this without having to create all new fields and having to go with the Table Name Change (from TASK to ACTIVITY Table)

I can see that there are DATA TYPES that designate the width of the field and others that do not. Is there a default width for a:
1. Picklist
2. Email
3. Lookup (User)       "What is the difference between number 3 & 4 ?"4. Lookup (User,Calendar)
5. Phone
6. Reference

If there is a default width. Where do I find it.

I am desperate to find out if I can do the following:
1. Identify default widths of all DATA TYPES?
2. Can the widths be changed?
3. Can all DATA TYPES be imported to or is it just some of them?

My biggest problem is getting the right search terms in place to search so maybe the answers are out there. I have not been successful finding them. I have spent days searching....no exaggerations here either. Your help is appreciated.

NOT a FIELD LABEL. Can an existing default field name be renamed or do I have to create a custom field only...?

I ask because I need to change the TASK Table in Salesforce but there is no way to add a new Custom Field in the TASK Table in the Object Manager. See image.


If there is a way to do this please tell me how? Thank you.

Here in another table you can see a NEW custom field button is available. My problem is it looks like I am going to need to change the types and or names of some of the fields in the TAST Table in order for it to work.

I have two WSDLs that I would like to generate into apex classes using the "Generate from WSDL" button in Salesforce, but I'm getting an initial error that the schema is incorrect.

Unsupported schema type: {http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}anyType

Select all Open in new window

I have limited knowledge of working with WSDL files and wanted to see if this is an error that can be fixed or if the WSDL cannot be converted to an apex class due to types that are simply not supported in the apex language.

If so, are there other alternatives to create the apex class/methods needed? Or, is it just a manual process?

I've attached the two WSDL files saved as flat files.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Guys,

We have configured the ADFS server with salesforce for SSO. All was working ok, since last week, when the SSL cert expired. I updated the SSL cert and it shows the right date on the service cert, Encryption cert and singing cert.

But the fedarationmetadata.xml URL is not opening. It shows the error as ERR_CONNECTION_RESET. Need to fix that asap.

Regards,

Are there any site, like Ticket Management Software, which would provide a front end for the hiring of new Sales Agents?

This would be a site which provides an application section, some back-end processing options and an approval process that is managed through the site?

I really have no plans to build such for my own short terms use of it. I need to hire a few hundred agents for a short-term project.

So, hopefully such sites can be configured and put into use quickly.

I really am afraid of going the Salesforce route. I feel that alone could consume my entire budget.

I need a Salesforce Lite ;)

Thanks.
